Hampton Hill

Hampton Hill is a district in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Middlesex, England. Its urban development was fuelled by the construction of railroads during the Industrial Revolution, and, during World War I, 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment used No. 15 High Street as its training grounds. Hampton Hill was bombed a number of times during The Blitz in World War II, and five people were killed by a Luftwaffe landmine dropped on Alpha Road. By the 21st century, the High Street was full of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs, and a 75-year-old bakery.
